PedalArt Des Moines is announcing a call for artists for our 2012 bicycle poster art show. PedalArt Des Moines is a local show of bicycle-inspired poster artwork that introduces people to talented local artists and sends them home with affordable, original works of art.

Working closely with the creators of the national ARTCRANK event, PedalArt Des Moines 2012 will feature posters created by local artists from our great state of Iowa. We are excited to be bringing this event completely local, and are looking forward to our inaugural 2012 show. Admission is always free, and posters are priced to let everybody take home at least one. We are using creativity to change how people look at and think about bicycles, and grow the cycling and art communities.

• Artists make 30 copies of every poster available for sale

• All posters sell for $40 each

• The event will take place throughout the first weekend in May 2012
